Quantitative Insights Into β-Lactamase Inhibitor’s Contribution in the Treatment of Carbapenemase-Producing Organisms With β-Lactams
Objectives: Carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) are associated with high mortality rates. The recent development of β-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) has made it possible to control CPO infections safely and effectively with β-lactams (BLs). This study aims to explicate the quantitative relationshi...
